The Seed is a worker owned collective/vegetarian/vegan cafe and community space located in downtown Lancaster.

They're always looking for artists, speakers, and performers who are entertaining, educational, and radically inclined.

The cafe itself doesn't serve alcohol but whether or not alcohol is byob at shows is generally up to promoters. You can probably work something out for whatever is necessary.

Shows usually start around 8:00 or 9:00 and (usually?) are free.
